Gene: LGSN

Alternate names for this Gene: GLULD1|LGS

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein with similarity to the GS I members of the glutamine synthetase superfamily. The encoded protein is referred to as a pseudo-glutamine synthetase because it has no glutamine synthesis activity and may function as a chaperone protein. This protein is localized to the lens and may be associated with cataract disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6q12

Description of this Gene: lengsin, lens protein with glutamine synthetase domain

Type of Gene: protein-coding
